These 2 books are intended for all current and emerging Christian leaders in Asia who are interested in growing and developing in their leadership. They provide short, practical and relevant articles addressing each of the top 20 felt leadership needs of our leaders in Asia. The articles are written by various YWAM leaders and Elders worldwide.

In 2015, a leadership survey was sent to hundreds of current and emerging YWAM leaders across Asia, asking them to consider 49 leadership competencies and to choose which of them they most needed to personally improve in. Hundreds of leaders responded to the survey in six different languages.

In response to the survey, the ALLC identified the top 20 highest felt leadership needs and began writing articles to address each leadership need. The first book (part 1) covers ten of the twenty leadership topics, and the second book (part 2) covers the other ten.

Below is a list of those top 20 greatest felt leadership needs from the survey. The percentage next to each item represents the percentage of responses that indicated that item as an important developmental need.
